The Lanagan Police Department Disbands

 

 A second town in McDonald County, Missouri is without a police department.

 McDonald County Sheriff Robert Evenson says the Lanagan Police Department has been disbanded as of Friday night. That discontinuation was confirmed by Lanagan Mayor Elma Mitchell and former Chief of Police Josh Phillips.

 Evenson says the lack of funding caused the town to make the decision. Evenson also says the McDonald County Sheriff’s Office does not have any extra deputies to send to Lanagan for patrol operations, but they will respond to calls in Lanagan.

 Lanagan joins Goodman in McDonald County as a town without a police department. There is no word on when, or if, those departments will be able to regroup and reform.
